I'll start this thread by mentioning that although I have a very low post count here at clubcobra, I've been around the site for six years or so and have been working on my FFR for the past three years - pics on the windy city cobra club subforum.
I have a friend who owns a vintage race car prep and maintenance shop here in the Chicago area and who recently showed me a set of what he claims are original AC / CSX wire wheels that came off of a late CSX 2000 series car quite a few years ago - he didn't remember the exact number, but thought it may have been 2465. Given the caliber of cars he currently works on and the fact that his father (and he, as a young guy helping around the shop) worked on many of the original cars that were run by Chicago Region SCCA members back in the late '60s and early '70, the claim may have some merit.
The wheels all have the following markings along the inside of the rim:
X464
RSM67 6LX15 BU
Made in England (with "made in" above "England")
Some sort of symbol follows the Made in England stamp, too.
The wheels were repainted white and the paint makes is somewhat difficult to see the markings, but here are a few pictures.
He would like to see these reunited with one of the original cars, so please let me know via PM if you are interested in them or if you know someone who may be, and I'll put you in touch with him.
Regards,
Chris
